The 42 Laws and Ideals of Ma’at

Laws of our ancestors Our ancestors were observant of what would occur on our planet years after their demise. They understood what is required to heal the Earth once again after many years of longsuffering! They were observant of humans' relationships with God. Thank God we can find answers to many questions relevant to our existence right in the Earth's crust. Wouldn’t The 42 Laws of Maat and 42 Ideals of Ma’at make this world better today? Even thousands of years since they are believed to have been written, the 42 Laws of Ma’at, principles, affirmations, or commandments would make any society perfect today. If we address ourselves with laws #11 and fourteen of the Laws of Ma'at, we can easily see what is occurring here in America, which is a great cause for concern. 11- I have not closed my ears to the truth, and 14- I have not felt sorrow without reason. Notice that these two laws, and many others, are missing in many treatises designed to reveal the truth intentionally or by mistake. There are only two ways of looking at this. If we adhere to the words of Ma'at, we can be assured that our paths to balance are more recognizable. If we do not, we must ask ourselves if we have learned the TRUTH. It is indeed incumbent upon us as individuals to know good from evil. If we add the laws of Ma'at to our reasoning, I am convinced that we will realize the blessings that we have left lying on the table for more than four hundred years because of our lack of information. Some call this ignorance, but I will not go there as I am not remiss of the restrictions placed upon many people from obtaining information for centuries right here in America! Think about that one! I have been speaking of "unseen" blessings since 2016, as this was when there was a pressing need for everyone to understand that these blessings existed. We have the money to convert negative into positive, "evil to good" Romans 12:21, but if we are unaware of this ability, it will never happen for those who defy reality. Those who are wise now enjoy these blessings abundantly while others look in awe. Therefore, I am allowing all interested to see the missing link to many benefits. I read all forty-two confessions daily. They help me tremendously.
Ma’at refers to ancient Egyptian laws, philosophy, or concepts that promote order, balance, truth, reciprocity, harmony, righteousness, morality, and justice. Ma’at is personified as Ma’at, the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice, and Order. She is usually depicted as a winged woman. The Goddess is often shown with an ostrich feather on her head or with a white ostrich feather. The feather of Ma’at was an essential part of the weighing the heart of the soul ceremony in the afterlife. This is where the heart of the dead person's soul was considered on the scales of justice against the feather.
